If this weren't so scary it would be funny. New Yorkers are basically blowing off the terror threat to the subway system in the city giving little regard to the subway attack in London not long ago.
Why?
I always loved those old childhood fables that had a moral to the story, and the one that comes to mind is the "Little Boy That Cried Wolf."
If you go back and count you'll see this is the 13th time the republicans have cried wolf when Bush was in political trouble, or it seemed the democrats were starting to make gains. Conservatives know that Bush is at his strongest when the people are afraid and so the purpose behind these threats are to keep the people scared. The last time was during the Democratic Convention that was based on intelligence that was three years old.
The problem with this is we could very well have another terrorist attack, and like in the story the towns people will ignore it until it's too late.
This may be an understatement but conservatives have made this country less safe to the point that their actions are treasonous.
